I 'bout barfed first time I saw a picture of that gun.
This reminds me of my Marksman pistol. It looks like a 1911 and the last couple of inches of the barrel tip up for loading. The original ones also could shoot small darts. Mine is a later version intended for BB's only. In the rotating breech, above the barrel is a cavity (magazine) that holds BBs. Mine was built with little protrusions that limited rotation and only allowed access to the magazine, but the earlier versions opened farther, exposing the barrel. I modified mine by eliminating the protrusions, allowing me to single load pellets. Or darts, if I had any.View attachment 1825702
OSS "Bigot" modified M1911, dart firing pistol. The idea was a quiet way to dispatch sentries and the like.
That's excellent! I'm gonna buy one at cabelas and hook my cordless drill to it for power!
This was the bb gun I learn to shoot pistol . Would setup ketchup packets on a post and get a great response .This reminds me of my Marksman pistol.

I've neve heard of such a thing! We'll have to try that out.This was the bb gun I learn to shoot pistol . Would setup ketchup packets on a post and get a great response .
I like that really fine point trigger. If could adapt something like that to these that woudl be cool. Would work good for rats and moles (I don't like that expensive .22 mole trap you see at coastal and online personally).1862 Cannon Mouse trap.

Looking at that picture, all I can say isThis is an Italian prototype of a MIAS mobile armored shield, built in the mid-1930s.
Its purpose was to provide its operator with a mobile machine gun and some protection, to enable them to fire under cover.
The design was a simple one, consisting of a semi-enclosed compartment that protected a single man and carried two machine guns. It was powered by a 5 hp Frera engine and ran on a basic track system.
The rear section was left open, so the MIAS only provided protection from the front and sides. The roof section was hinged and could be raised by the operator if needed.
It was only armored enough to defend against 7.92mm Mauser armor-piercing rounds, and was not designed to withstand anything remotely "anti-tank".
Another version, the MORAS, was armed with a 45 mm Bixia mortar. Neither of the designs were produced.
Another interesting design…..
